What are dried water kefir grains?
Dried water kefir grains are living cultures of beneficial bacteria and yeasts that have been put into a dormant state by drying. Once you activate them with sugar water, they become active again, allowing you to make water kefir endlessly. The grains grow with each use and can be reused again and again.
Why dried grains?
Long shelf life – lasts for months to years when stored properly – easy to store – no refrigeration required – perfect gift – lightweight and compact for shipping – in stock – always available when you're ready to start. Ideal if you don't want to start right away or as a backup.
Activate and use
Place the dried granules in a glass jar, add 500 ml of lukewarm water and 2 tablespoons of sugar, stir until the sugar dissolves, cover with a cloth and an elastic band, let it sit for 24-48 hours, then replace the water. Repeat this every 3-5 days until the granules are active and the water is lightly fizzy. They are now ready to use. Then use them as you would fresh granules.
